Queen shipper cardboard box (up to 30 cages)

Ventilation designed for live cargo

All four faces feature die-cut slots that refresh the air inside without exposing the bees to direct draughts. A single queen with her 6-8 attendants uses little oxygen, but 30 cages with two hundred bees in a sealed space build up heat and CO₂ within hours — especially when the box travels in postal sacks under other parcels. The slots prevent that greenhouse effect and dramatically reduce mortality from suffocation in summer shipments or multi-day routes.

Fits NICOT and JZs BZs queen cages

The internal tray is die-cut to hold the two industry-standard cage references: NICOT-type cages (the plastic ones with the candy plug) and JZs BZs. Each cage sits in its own slot and stays put — they don't bounce against each other under courier handling or roll over in tight bends, preventing attendants from being crushed against the mesh.

Flat-packed, ready in under a minute

Supplied flat and unassembled, taking up minimum space on the shelf or in transport to the apiary. Assembly is by die-cut tab-and-slot, no staples or tape needed — fold the flaps, slot in the internal tray and it's ready to load in under a minute. The compact 240×136×92 mm format fits standard postal services (Royal Mail, parcel couriers), and being disposable means no return logistics to worry about.

Important: the box ships empty and is sold individually. Queen cages (NICOT, JZs BZs) are loaded separately and not included.
